As a person who loves history, archaeology is something that interests me a lot. However, I would never consider it as a career as it requires more post-secondary education than I am willing to take. Although there are many aspects of a career in archaeology that appeal to me one of my favourites is the idea of restoring and maintaining artifacts.
If I could study any ancient civilization as an archaeologist, I would choose to study the Mayans. This would be my choice of study because I personally know very little about them and would love to learn more and discover various aspects of their culture.
One of the most famous ancient Egyptian artifacts is the “Mask of Tutankhamun” it was discovered by Howard Carter on October 28, 1925. This artifact was discovered in the Valley of the Kings located in modern Egypt, west of the ancient city of Thebes. The discovery of the “Mask of Tutankhamun” furthered our understanding of Egyptian funerary art and clearly displayed just how wealthy this ancient civilization was.
